You will love this doctor’s office and staff. I have been to many doctors this past year and this is one of my favorites. They are so good, and I have shared my experience with my MD’s office and my family. She definitely is my dermatologist, Dr Tarbox is wonderful. This office is amazing and UMC gets a high score in my opinion for this office and staff being in their building.

Wonderful experience seeing Dr. Tarbox. I am a new patient and I have never been that thoroughly checked in previous dermatology visits. (and I have been seen by several other doctors in the past) She is also very personable and down to earth! Loved seeing her.

Dr Tarbox is the best doctor I have ever known. She is excellent in every facet of patient care. Several years ago she diagnosed a cancer on my nose that led to a successful outcome. She also literally saved my life by helping me understand what was happening to my skin when I went through chemo . To me she is the perfect example of a doctor who is kind, compassionate, and excellent in her field
